Hudson Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 "The fee for Torres was dependent on what Newcastle asked for Carroll," Henry told The Guardian, explaining they simply wanted a difference of £15million. "The negotiation for us was simply the difference in prices paid by Chelsea and to Newcastle. Those prices could have been £35million [from Chelsea for Torres] and £20million [to Newcastle for Carroll], 40 and 25 or 50 and 35. It was ultimately up to Newcastle how much this was all going to cost. They [Newcastle] made a hell of a deal. We felt the same way." So I was right, all Roman's f***ing fault. Suppose we shaft chelsea on the fee then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Here's a random thought for you: do you reckon he'd have gone for as much as £35M if he hadn't have been given the no.9 shirt this season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Like to hear that Henry is not going to put a penny of his own money back into the club, all from the money the club generates. I'm sure the scousers are happy about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are huge in Asia, if we'd been smarter around the time of 03-04 we could have tapped into that market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I'm sitting watching highlights of Villa 6-0 on my Sky Plus. This was a fucking bad move man, awful.

Maybe you can watch the 5-0 vs West Ham after that, no Carroll and no Hughton I'm just watching stuff I managed to catch on my Sky Plus. Currently watching the 4-3 at Chelsea in the League Cup and that. My point is that this Carroll shite just seems like a fucking bad dream still. I thought my anger had subsided but it clearly hasn't at all. This injury shite is actually a bad thing I reckon - I just need to see Andy Carroll play football in a Liverpool shirt to get it out my system. I need that release. Fuck it, I'm still feeling masssively, massively negative about NUFC as things stand. This one fucking hurt man, I'm not arsed how much money we got for him.

Interpolic Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Oh fucking bollocks. I just watched the MOTD2 when we won at Arsenal. Andy Cole was providing analysis and gave Carroll huge praise, "I can see what people are talking about with him... look at him, wins the ball, keeps the ball... you know how the geordies love a centre forward. HE'S CLEARLY GOING TO BE THE NEWCASTLE NUMBER NINE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME". Holy fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. I've taken decisive action and have knocked Modern Family on.

I think we've clearly had worse points in the last 5 years (howay man, let's be honest, in the last 18-24 months) but I just think this whole thing symbolises what the real issue is here, i.e. we had hope, not a lot, but a touch of hope. The hope's going now man. However I'm also influenced by the idea that NUFC are 100% unpredictable. So maybe we don't invest the whole £35m, but we do invest in a decent winger, 2 forwards, a good right back, a versatile defender that can play along the back line. Perhaps perhaps, we'll see man. I would be so much happier if Hughton had '£35m in his pocket' though, and not Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I can't help thinking of when we sold Gazza and bought 4 replacements which were supposed to strenghten the team overall. And promptly went down. There's a lot riding on this Summer (and that's if we manage to stay in the Premier League 'til then!), but the way to strenghten is to do it on top of a solid base when you're doing well and then discard what you no longer need. Trying to buy a team never works, unless you've got so much to waste (Chelsea / Man City style) that you can afford loads of mistakes. We had impetus. We were on the up, with great team spirit and the most united club that I can imagine under Ashley. Now we're in turmoil and on the slide again. Think back to all the great players who have moved from English clubs for big money. Then think of the non-Champion's League clubs who sold them. How many come to mind as to having really prospered from selling their best players? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, and hopefully not. But I'm less optimistic than at any time since August. Promoted teams often do well in the first half of the season then suffer when other teams suss them out, their squads get stretched by injury and suspensions, and the feel-good factor dissipates. Our squad needed strengthening in the Window but was instead significantly weakened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 soccer AM have just done a montage of fans speaking about being devastated to be losing Carroll saying 'I'm gutted he's gone' etc, and quotes from Pardew playing local hero.
